Detailed explanation-1: -His obstinacy in insisting that his message must be spread to Jews and non-Jews alike had upset many people, but played an important role in helping Christianity to become a new religion in its own right.
Detailed explanation-2: -Paul is often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. His epistles (letters) have had enormous influence on Christian theology, especially on the relationship between God the Father and Jesus, and on the mystical human relationship with the divine.
Detailed explanation-3: -Famously converted on the road to Damascus, he travelled tens of thousands of miles around the Mediterranean spreading the word of Jesus and it was Paul who came up with the doctrine that would turn Christianity from a small sect of Judaism into a worldwide faith that was open to all.
